Maverick film director Ram Gopal Varma, known for his controversial and stinging comments at others, has stirred the political circles with his pot shots at Telugu Desam Party MPs for enacting a high drama in Parliament over the raw deal meted out to Andhra Pradesh in union budget.
The Telugu Desam Party, which has already faced a lot of humiliation in the hands of its ally Bharatiya Janata Party by ignoring Andhra Pradesh in the budget, has faced yet another insult from the Centre.

At a time when the Telugu Desam Party moved heaven and earth in Parliament during the entire week with all its MPs, including Union minister of state for science and technology Y S Chowdary, revolted against the NDA government for betraying Andhra Pradesh in the Union budget, one person was conspicuously absent in the whole drama.
